Changing the way dental teams manage medical emergencies

The UK's first rescue ready medical emergencies in the dental practice manual with flow charts, treatment guides and emergency drug protocols.

Medical Alert Update and advice on the Emrade Auto-injector pen. All Emerade pens currently on the market have a low risk of being defective but there is no way for the patient to tell by looking at an unused device that it is faulty. In this video update Garry Perkins HCPC Paramedic gives some practical advice.

Just a little insight training with our cliants at our training venue in Burgess Hill

Candidates will be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and will be equipped with the vital skills needed to administer safe, prompt and effective treatment.

Dental Teams CPD medical training

You will be aware of the recent DHSC Supply Disruption Alert on EpiPen® and EpiPen Junior® adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) that advises conserving supplies for patients who truly need them. Some healthcare professionals, including dental practitioners, may be holding EpiPens or other AAIs, in preference to adrenaline ampoules, to treat anaphylactic reactions; this should not be necessary. All healthcare professionals providing services where anaphylaxis treatment may be required should have the competency to draw up and administer adrenaline from ampoules with a normal syringe and needle. Due to the shortage, we ask that when you renew the adrenaline in your anaphylaxis kits, you alert all your staff to please stock ampoules (ensuring you also include dosing charts, needles and syringes) and not AAIs. This will reduce the reliance on AAIs and therefore preserve essential EpiPen stocks for patients, parents, carers, teachers, etc. who, as lay persons, cannot be expected to administer adrenaline via a needle and syringe.
